Association, which occurred last S8tur'
day at St. CIairsville. In the absence OF

THE names of the Grand Jury, which
adjourned last week, and the Prosecu'
ting Attorney who advised them, will
not likely be cut in marble and placed
in panel in the new court house, for
their appreciation of the life and safety
of the citizen, as shown by their report.
An undisputed killing of an unarmed
man by two shots from revolver, was
not sufficient crime to warrant the bring
ing of the alleged criminal to trial be,
fore jury of his countrymen. Prose
cutting Attorney Kennon was heard to
remark that "this jury was the d-kst
jury l ever had anything to do with.
and it is highly probable that notwith-
standing the proposition of one of their
number just before adj urnment to take
a vote on Prosecuting Attorney, that
some of them will hurl back the insinu
alton on the Prosecutor for the advice
given by him. which led them TO make
the report they did in the Swearingen
case.
